Better performance?

Is there any way to pump more horsepower and torque out of my 2.3L 5 spd Tempo???

Re: Better performance?

The aftermarket is almost nonexistant. You can get an intake for another car & mod it to fit. Exhaust can be made, though a simple muffler replacement can help.

You can find more tricks at www.tempotopaz.com

If you're ready for lots of work, you can do what I did. See my Cardomain for more details.

Where do they sell anything for them? Aside from BS eBay 'chips', you're on your own.

You may be thinking of Ford's other 2.3, the OHC motor used in the Ranger, Mustang, etc. The 2.3 HSC pushrod motor is exclusive to the Tempo/Topaz, though a 2.5-liter version was used briefly in the Taurus/Sable.
